Located on Grand Avenue in downtown Des Moines, the John and Mary Pappajohn Sculpture Park is a 4.4-acre park that opened in 2009. The park is home to over 20 sculptures by well-known artists.

The Pappajohns donated these works of art and represent the largest donation of art made to Des Moines Art Center.

Although guided tours are offered from April to October, anyone can visit the park and view the sculptures while the park is open. School tours are welcome and it is possible to rent the park for special events.
